Logline/Synopsis
Logline

A logline is often referred to as the TV Guide listing of your screenplay.  In essence, it is a one sentence, or so, description of the basic idea of your script.  A good logline contains a sense of who the main character is, what world the screenplay inhabits, and the inherent conflict in the story.

Synopsis

A synopsis is a brief description of all the events in your screenplay...the broad strokes.

When pitching by phone, e-mail, in a round-robin pitchfest (or in an elevator), you will be asked for your logline and synopsis.  A sprightly and concise logline and synopsis are essential to hooking your prospective buyer.

StoryPros can help you develop your logline and synopsis either as part of coverage or other analysis, or as a specifically targeted service. See our Additional Services page for more information.
